Garganey
While sitting/lying in my hide in a fishpond in the Hortobagy, this lovely shy Garganey decided to spend sometime in front of the hide.

Stunning bird Rene - would love to see a large version on here too :toast:

The low angle works well on this one, Rene. Agree with Graham re the duck, the Garganey is right up there with the Pintail in the looks department. Lighting looks well handled too.

I sincerely hope you weren't actually "in" the fishpond Rene...that's taking things a little too far! :biggrin: Superb image of a beautiful bird. I to would like to see a larger version.

Rene - when you uploaded your original post, just under the box to upload the 200px version, there is the option to upload the larger version. HTH's :smile:

Hi Rene, the larger image witll need to be max 1200 pixels on its longest side and 500kb max in size. When you post a topic you have two boxes for your images...the first one is for the smaller image which appears when you open the topic and the one below is for your larger image. If you go over the max sizes it will not upload.

Cheers

Nick. :wavey:

Also Rene if you try to upload an oversize image then you can loose your introductory copy which can be a pain if it is a lengthy explanation. I prepare my copy in 'word' to copy and paste just in case :wink:

Smart duck by the way :biggrin:
